Another Road Tax Question
Rockin Robin:
Scrub that ... I've been misinformed .... CO2 emmission figures for Freelanders are (according to SMMT):
1.8 : 248 CO2/Km
TD4 : 240 CO2/Km
This places them both firmly in band "G" BUT as I understand it, the £300 tax rate this year, rising to £400 next applies to cars registered after 23/03/2006.
Vehicles registered between 03/2001 and 23/03/2006 should (I hope :? )remain, as Bob696 said in Band "F" (£205).
Freelanders registered before March 2001 should, I believe, be paying £180.
Edit: Just found this site, which appears to offer a fairly definitive explanation ...

So let me get this right - a 1.8 petrol Freeby is dearer for road tax than my 4.6 Rangie ??? :shock:
Where's the sense in that then !!!!!! :?
Rockin Robin:
Yeah, well ... since when does logic enter the equation :?
I still think they should dispense with road tax and bump up fuel prices, but what would I know!
Anyway, It would seem that if your rangie was registered before March 2001, you'll be stung for £180. If it was registered between march 2001 and 23/03/2006, you'll pay £205, and if it was registered after 23/03/2006, you'll pay £300 this year, rising to £400 next!
Don't quote me on any of this, though - I'm as much in the dark as everyone else!!

Oh its a '96 Jap Import so well within the £180 cut off..............................................................................................still don't make sense though :roll:
